    @meh64 The rotator turns the pyramidal adapter blocks to which the cone is attached. Probably the best way to understand is to take it apart and play around.

    How did you merge the rotator with the nose cone?

    Thanks @jacobhardy64, @weebabyseamus, @teus, @planesnthings, @wakescar. Currently one of my favorites to fly so I'm glad you like it too! Also let me know if you have any thoughts why take off is so slow. Something to do with the rear gear rotators. If you replace them with plain blocks, all is resolved.
